Original: Barnum came to MAESSR because he was continually having disagreements with the other male Springer in his previous household. The family was concerned that one of the children might accidentally get hurt if caught between the fighting dogs and made the difficult decision to relinquish Barnum to rescue.
This is one sweet boy who wants nothing more than to be with you at all times. He follows people around so much in his foster home that he has been nicknamed “Shadow.” Barnum is totally housebroken and has excellent house manners. Like many Springers he does have a soft spot in his heart for soft spots to lie on and will get on the furniture at times but always, always gets off when told. He is crate trained and walks well on a leash. When the car goes, Barnum is ready to be included in the ride and is just a great buddy to have along.
One thing very special about this cute boy is that he loves children much more than adults. He just gets so excited when a child comes into sight, his whole body will wiggle! Barnum is going to make a wonderful addition to someone’s family. Hope it is yours!
